Critics consensus

“Featuring deft interplay between Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd, Trading Places is an immensely appealing social satire.”

RTThe Times (UK)Mar 15, 2023

Trading Places cushions the social satire of its theme with broad comedy.

Derek Malcolm

RTGuardianAug 20, 2021

Trading Places, in this of all Hollywood years, is a joy to behold -- clever without being smart, affectionate without being sentimental, They can make movies like they used to after all.

RTAssociated PressOct 23, 2018

Landis' direction is deft, but the sparkling performances are the real draw not only by Murphy and Aykroyd but also by Don Ameche and Ralph Bellamy as the meddling oldsters, Denholm Elliott as the gentlemanly servant and Jamie Lee Curtis.

RTEverything is Horrible (Substack)Jul 19, 2026

A cheerfully pointed parable about the unfairness of the capitalist system, which it presents as built on luck, prejudice and corruption.
